Questions & Answers

→ How should I prepare the fruits for best texture?

Use fresh, ripe fruits and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Prepare sensitive fruits like apples with a splash of lime juice to prevent browning.

→ Can I substitute the honey in the dressing?

Yes, for a vegan option, replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup without compromising flavor.

→ Is it necessary to chill the salad before serving?

Chilling for at least 15 minutes allows the flavors to blend and enhances the refreshing taste.

→ What fruits work well as seasonal substitutes?

Mangoes, peaches, and raspberries make excellent alternatives or additions depending on availability.

→ How long does this fruit mixture stay fresh?

Best consumed within a day; refrigeration slows oxidation, but fruits are freshest soon after preparation.

Yes, prepare and chill ahead, but add delicate fruits or mint garnish just before serving for optimum texture and flavor.
